Green Day is Collaborating with Cartoonist Frank Carusso for a Co-Authored book called "Last of The American Girls".

Named after the song off the album, 21st Century Breakdown, the book is described as “an inspiring homage and handbook for the rebellious every woman who refuses to capitulate" by the band's publisher, who continues that the book "is a celebration of True Rebel Girls" - song reference to She's a Rebel on American Idiot.

Billie Joe Armstrong told Blunt Magazine that “Last of the American Girls” was originally about his wife. “Then I started getting into more of my own beliefs — anything from a little book of conspiracies to playing vinyl records or something,” he explained. “It’s sort of about an empowering, sort of subterranean kind of lifestyle, but at the same time there’s a new era coming in with the way we all need to live.”

Caruso has previous illustrated Bruce Springsteen's book "Outlaw Pete" and was the art director for Wilco's "Dawn on Me" Video.

The book will hit October 29th, and will be available through Dey Street Books.
